i think another cool usage pattern can be config packages: the prod would load everything from environment variables while dev build will have everything hardcoded, which is easier to manage.

[@derpenstocks]

Btw neovim currently has the same issue around displaying errors related to build tags. Pretty sure it's just a gopls problem.

[@nodidog]

Been like that for years. If you want a workaround, check the issue: golang/go/issues/29202 You can just add all of your common tags (dev, prod, etc.)

[@DrewryPope]

You can set the tags for gopls to use in settings

[@derpenstocks]

@@DrewryPope honestly I tried but never got a configuration that worked. Eventually just gave up

[@nodidog]

I left an explanation for a fix, but KZbin deleted by comment, I assume because it had a link in it. Thanks YT - fighting the good fight, as usual.

[@mementomori8856]

I always learn something new with every video you release

[@anthonygg_]

Thats the goal 😘

[@ForeverZer0]

It might be worth noting that the "+build tag" syntax is deprecated, and was replaced (i think in version 1.16?) with the "go:build tag". gofmt will automatically update it to the newer syntax, and the compiler will continue to work with it for a few versions during transition (according to Google), but unless you are writing code that is intending to be compiled with old versions of Go, you do not need to bother with the "+build".

[@anthonygg_]

Thanks for mentioning this

[@joeyhills212]

This is so useful for something im working on right now thank you! I have a raspberry pi that needs to run to run some CGO that only compiles for ARM chips and when i run the server code on my x86 server i cant get it to compile because of the C library dependency.

[@AmirHosseinHonardust]

Amazing. This can help me have a very good way of managing my runtime for my computer where I can make a local friendly runtime without the danger of pushing my changes to the server.

[@LeeZhenYong]

Love the use case at the end 👍🏼

[@demmidemmi]

Á similar trick is to pass in variables at build time with - ldflags, for example version numbers.

[@michelTH2022]

As usual, a great video 🙂 More videos on that topic would be interesting.

[@davidhinojosa3680]

This is awesome! I was struggling to make the hot reload work in dev while still using the embed functionality. I was importing all of tailwind in dev for the meantime 😂 Will definitely try this.

[@donnacasterr6223]

Good tip. FIrst time learning of this. Thanks

[@Tobsson]

I always loved the idea of go, but you can bundle all the css, html or whatever you want into the binary? That's crazy! 😅

[@onlineque]

Thanks, man 🙏 Great video

[@terraflops]

new to Go lang and this is very helpful to know.

[@suikast420]

Hey Anthony . Great talk again. I have had seen a video from you where you talk about of reusing golang references with a repository pattern for avoiding gc cycles. But I can't find anymore. Can you give me a hint?

[@NiltonOS]

Anthony nice tips !!!, Thanks

[@inaccessiblecardinal9352]

This is pretty neat. Already know use cases.

[@derpenstocks]

off topic question: what's with the prettier thing in the bottom right of your vscode? Are you using prettier to format go (serious question, I know it can be used to format rust)

[@anthonygg_]

I think its an old relic when writing typescript

[@Yoshidzo]

Hey Anthony, what's your VSCode theme? Love the videos.

[@anthonygg_]

Gruvbox

[@lowmagnet]

That's a nice use case!

[@kiquetal]

i'm trying to be a pro, and use my intellij with go-plugin(ex java dev,here) is extremely ama zing learn from you Sir,thanks!

[@thoriqadillah7780]

I miss code with golang. Currently coding with express + typescript, and that thing eating my machine. Building the project eats 2 gb of ram and 8 gb of my laptop is barely capable for development. That's crazy for a 2 weeks old of project. Meanwhile my download manager written in golang that has more files and it feels like nothing

[@NiltonOS]

Anthony, I'm a student on your HMTX course, can you give me a better coupon so I can buy the other Full Time Go Dev course?

[@aamonaze]

finally his back

[@javadahmadian7782]

So good

[@morkhoudia9]

what is the difference btw anthonygg and golang std library ? One talking and practicing, the other a high documentation not well understood to all except anthony gg. 🙂

[@shivamkumarz]

Amazing

[@snake3837]

Use lazyvim or astronvim instead of building everything from scratch.

[@brickmastertube]

The fact that you're basing your yt tutorial videos on actual real projects you're working on makes all the difference.

[@agp745]

The Go Goat

[@cougarmama7589]

Gave the video a thumbs up for the leechers
